[housekeeping] lights at the end (Patreon)

is... is it over yet?
is everything over yet?

two or three days ago i feel like i had a lot to say and then the last two or three days happened and now i, like everyone else, am simply exhausted. there are many things i feel like i need to do and need to better, but rather than talking about them here, we're just going to keep this post to the content.

as usual, for patrons who joined in the blessed month of october:

• everyone's been added to the credit list
• forum accounts have been hooked up where possible
• message sent out
• if you would like to call in a higher tier reward, let me know!

speaking of higher tier rewards, i happened to take a video of working on a custom protag sprite for our dear Lisa, so I figured I'd share with the class. it's been sped up and stuff, but the total time was a little more than an hour

anyway, that's just a small bonus for y'all

there may also be some changes to the patreon soon. the recent site update we had was to make way for some related things:

• first, i am still planning to collect all of our ancient past into a Vault, which we will organize on our website (as that's the most practical option).
• second, and primarily to facilitate that, i'm going to be looking into setting up a direct integration with the site so that a patreon bot is automatically managing roles there similar to how it does for discord. that means that the supporter badge reward tier might end up changing if the thing doesn't work how i expect it to, or regardless. but it also will free me up a bit so i don't have to keep manually doing that and posting on the 6th of each month that i have done that, and then neglecting to remove the role when it no longer applies except for directly before a testing session since entropy is a force that cannot be resisted within a mortal's lifespan

that was so many words, the point is, hingle bingle website integration jingles. ok? 

speaking of testing

i plan to start alpha patron testing for starlight either this weekend or early next week. 

jan and i did a test run last night and there was only like one real bug that popped up! doing a second supervised test with ikaru tonight. then it's fixes, and all y'alls.

hi y'all.
